Watch A 14 Year-Old Nail Van Halen’s “Eruption”

Meet 14 year-old Tina S. At 14 years old, she’s nine years younger than Eddie Van Halen was when he revolutionalized two handed finger tapping with “Eruption,” his solo on Van Halen’s first album in 1978. However, she totally pulls off the solo note for note, looking nonchalant while doing it. It’s not like this is Tina’s first go-round on the guitar, though; there’s another video of her playing F. Carullli’s “Andante” on an acoustic guitar that’s almost as big as she is from a year ago. If this girl decides to write some original material and/or join a band, she’ll be dangerous. If nothing else, she’s definitely gained temporary internet notoriety; the clip has racked up 144,000 views in only three days. Click through to see her in action.

If you were at yesterday’s (26) Long Island stop of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival and saw Code Orange’s set, you saw their last show on the tour. They said in a tweet that they’d be missing the last four dates of the fest.

Philadelphia grindcore trio Die Choking will release their first full-length album this October. The first taste of it, “Death’s Waveform,” is streaming now on Cvlt Nation. III will be released on Compound Records.

After tonight’s (6) Goatwhore show at Brooklyn, NY venue Saint Vitus bar sold out, the band has added a second show, tomorrow (7) at the same venue. Ringworm, Black Breath and Theories will support. You can pick up tickets here.
